text: How to Learn a Lace Braid by Morgan Ashley Parker 4/28/09 90 Reactions 40 Shares Print 34 1 1 4 0 Who doesn't love a good braid, whether it's a fishtail, four-strand, and now a lace braid. This style can be created with French (or Dutch) plaits with one small change: you only add new pieces of hair to one section of the braid. Since we just made an impromptu "salon," I was only working with two bobby pins and no comb. It's not pulled as tightly as you'd want — for say, a night on the town — but get the same idea with these steps. Divide and Conquer What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Part the chunk of hair to be braided (with a rattail comb if you've got it) and set it aside. I divided about a two-inch wide section from ear to ear and secured the excess hair in a low, back bun to keep it out of the way. 1 / 10 Braid at an Angle What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This braid will go from ear to ear, so form the three sections starting by one ear, not in the center of the forehead. 2 / 10 Begin Like the French What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Beginning as you would for a French braid, cross section no. 1 over section no. 2 (while leaving section no. 3 to the side). 3 / 10 Continue Like the French What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Next, cross section no. 3 over no. 1 (just like a normal French braid). 4 / 10 Time to Change the Rules! What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The trick to a lace braid is that you only add new sections on one side. For this example, I only added small pieces on the right (or forehead) side. For the section closest to the back of the head, you just continue braiding but do not pick up any additional hair to add in. 6 / 10 Add on the Right What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Continue braiding French style on the side closest to the forehead (by adding in new sections) but don't add any new pieces of hair on the opposite side as you work your way along. 6 / 10 See the Pattern? What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It's a visible braid on one side and a French-looking one toward the front. 7 / 10 Lovely Lace What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 See how it creates a ruffle to her hair, like a piece of lace? 8 / 10 Tuck It Under What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 After you finish braiding the entire section, end the braid with a small elastic behind the ear and wear the hair down – this built-in headband works great to keep long bangs away. 9 / 10 Or Insta-Updo What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 We used two bobby pins to make this style. If you want to secure it for a night out, add more pins behind the ear before securing a loose bun or chignon in the back. 11 / 10 34 1 1 4 0 Read More Beauty How ToBraidsHair Beauty How To How to Keep Your Lipstick From Smudging 3 hours ago 3 Veils, 3 Looks: Your Wedding Hair Woes, Solved! 5 hours ago Beyond Basic: Amp Up Your Braid Game in 2014 1 day ago 10 Earth Day Beauty DIY Recipes That Are Green in Every Way 1 day ago This Ombré Nail Art Has Us Dreaming of Summer Vacation 2 days ago How to Pull Off Multicolored Makeup Like Lupita Nyong'o 3 days ago Get a Personalized Fashion & Beauty Newsletter!

Here are some tips to help you catch early-season walleyes. For starters,
always have a game plan and pre-rig your rods!
Generally speaking, you can toss small jigs in the shallow areas you're
likely targeting for walleyes this open-water season. Say 1/16-ouncers, because
we don't want to spook fish with big hardware. Tip your jig with a minnow or a
When casting out and retrieving a jig over shallow, gravelly, or sandy bottoms, raise your
rod, then raise and drop it all the way back to the boat. Mix up your jigging
technique, and work with different dressings. Many times in May, you can drag a
jig on the bottom and pick up fish. It doesn't always have to be lift-drop,
Slip-bobbers also could be productive this spring. Over deeper water,
vertical jig or use live bait rigs. Crankbaits are a
good idea, too, casted into the shallows. Small, slow, and subtle should be
your dominating presentation.
Keep your lures at the right speed and right depth. If you pick up a fish on
the locator, then hover over that fish (say in 10 feet of water) and then work
a jig or a livebait rig. Usually you'll coax that
fish into biting.
Try A Split-Shot
Another top technique is using a split-shot ahead of a
live bait rig. Tie your line directly to the hook, then
add a split-shot above that hook. This is a finesse rig. A variation is to take
a torpedo weight and peg it four feet ahead of your hook. That allows you to
bounce over some rocks without snagging.
With live bait rigs, I'll twitch them or move the rod tip forward three
feet. Constantly move them and change things up a little bit instead of always
drag, drag, drag,
As for live bait, with minnows, a 2-1/2-inch fathead is
most effective, but mix up the size. You'll see fatheads spawning this
time of year, when the males turn almost black, and have bumps on their heads.
The female fatheads are more productive because of a negative scent factor with
those males.
With leeches, if it's a tougher bite, use a medium-size leech. I prefer black
leeches over those less active, lazy brown leeches. Whatever the color, healthy
bait is best, and never use half-dead bait!
Female walleyes are a tough bite fish during the spawn. Males will be
leaking milt and likely will be a little more aggressive. Remember to release
spawning fish, especially females carrying the next year-class of eggs.
Shop The Sportsman's Guide for a fine assortment of
Fishing Tackle.

Nokia Lumia 1020 unboxing gallery
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cell Phones, Features, Galleries
The Nokia Lumia 1020 boasts a ridiculously large 41-megapixel PureView camera as the standout feature. It's "the largest back side illuminated sensor available on a smartphone." A smartphone needs more than just a great camera though, and Nokia has outfitted the Lumia 1020 with a 4.5-inch 1280 x 768 AMOLED PureMotion HD+ display covered by Gorilla Glass 3, and it sports "super sensitive touch" which allows you to use the phone even while wearing gloves.
The Lumia 1020 includes a wrist strap that you can optionally attach to it, and Nokia will also be selling a Camera Grip that makes the device easier to use as a camera. We're finalizing our Lumia 1020 review, but in the meantime, we've put together our Nokia Lumia 1020 unboxing gallery for you to get up-close and personal with the Windows Phone through pictures.

We gave you the rundown on the Nokia Lumia 1020 a few days ago, and for those of you who took a look at the 41-megapixel-camera-toting smartphone and just had to have one, you'll be pleased to know that pre-order for the 1020 are now live. The device costs $299 with two-year contract, and will be released on July 23rd.
Nokia Lumia 1020 launches on July 26th on AT&T for $299
Nokia, Microsoft, and AT&T have finally officially lifted the veil off of the Nokia Lumia 1020 Windows Phone. The standout feature of this smartphone is its 41 megapixel PureView camera, which is being called "the largest back side illuminated sensor available on a smartphone." Of course, a fantastic camera a great smartphone does not make, and the Lumia 1020 does sports a few other impressive touches. The display is a 4.5-inch 1280 x 768 AMOLED PureMotion HD+ panel covered by Gorilla Glass 3, and it sports "super sensitive touch" which allows you to use the phone even while wearing gloves.
The Lumia 1020 includes a wrist strap that you can optionally attach to it, and Nokia will also be selling a Camera Grip that makes the device easier to use as a camera. You can get one exclusively from AT&T on July 26th for $299 with two-year contract. If you wanna be sure you'll have one on day one, be sure to get your pre-order in on July 16th. We'll be getting our hands on the Nokia Lumia 1020 shortly, and we'll give you the full rundown on what's likely to be an amazing camera, along with our full review.
Nokia Lumia 928 outed in Vanity Fair
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cameras, Cell Phones, Handhelds, Microsoft
We've been keeping tabs on the Nokia Lumia 928 for a while, but it has never been confirmed in any official capacity until today. The Lumia 928 quietly made an appearance in a two-page advertisment spread in Vanity Fair, as well as on a simple page on the Nokia Web site. It appears that the 928 is focusing on the camera:
Nokia exclusive PureView technology, with Optical Image Stabilization and high-end Carl Zeiss optics let you capture and share amazing blur-free photos and videos, even in low light conditions.
As expected, Verizon Wireless will be the carrier for the Lumia 928. Expect a nice, official unveiling to take place a week from today, on May 14th. We aren't expecting the internals to be too different from the Nokia Lumia 920.
Windows Phone finally gets a real, functional YouTube app
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cell Phones, Google, Microsoft, Software
Windows Phone users have been patiently waiting for a full-fledged YouTube app, and today it has finally arrived. Replacing the glorified mobile web version of YouTube "app," the new version brings all the native Windows Phone 8 love in parity with YouTube's standard features. You can share videos to other social networks, log in to your account to access your favorites and playlists, and even do stuff like set videos, channels, and even search queries as Live Tiles on the homescreen--something unique to Windows Phone. You can grab the new Windows Phone YouTube app right now.

Bloomberg: Nokia Lumia 928 coming to Verizon next month
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cell Phones, Handhelds, Microsoft, Rumors
It looks like Verizon Wireless is set to finally offer the Nokia Lumia 928, giving Verizon a flagship Windows Phone 8 device, starting next month. While no formal announcements have been made, two people familiar with the details have confirmed it. Since flagship Lumia smartphones in the US have typically been AT&T exclusives, it'll be interesting to see what the Verizon effect will have on sales. The Lumia 928 will have an aluminum enclosure rather than the polycarbonate Lumias that we're used to, with a 4.5-inch display, 8-megapixel camera, and wireless charging capabilities.
Nokia Lumia 521 coming to T-Mobile in May
T-Mobile is set to release the Nokia Lumia 521, powered by Windows Phone 8, sometime next month in May. The Lumia 521 sports a 4-inch display, 5 megapixel rear camera with autofocus that records 720p video, and the exclusive suite of Nokia apps like Nokia Music, Cinemagraph, Maps, Transit, HERE Drive, etc. The device will run on T-Mobile 4G (not LTE) network. T-Mobile is keeping quiet on exact pricing and availability for now for whatever reason, but the Lumia 521 won't exactly be flying off of store shelves, so you shouldn't have a hard time finding it once it lands at Walmart, Microsoft Retail Stores, and T-Mobile locations next month.

World Cup
June 26, 2006
- FTFT1Italy
- FT-PensFT-Pens2Switzerland
Final score - after penalties
And so ends an instantly forgettable game of football. Ukraine go through to face Italy on Friday.
UKR 3-0 SWI - Gusev scores to send Ukraine through.
UKR 2-0 SWI - Cabanas goes down the middle, Shovkovskiy saves. Dreadful penalty.
UKR 2-0 - Rebrov places a penalty down the middle to put Ukraine in a very strong position.
UKR 1-0 SWI - Barnetta thumps a well-struck penalty against the bar.
UKR 1-0 SWI - Milevskiy cooly chips down the middle as Zuberbuhler dives.
UKR 0-0 SWI - Streller licks his lips, strides up to the ball and places a shocking penalty straight at Shovkovskiy
UKR 0-0 SWI - Shevchenko steps up, but Zuberbuhler makes a good low save to his right.
FULL-TIME, EXTRA-TIME: I've had the misfortune to watch some bad football matches in my time. That was the worst, By some distance. And so an interminable match finally reaches the conclusion we all knew it would - a penalty shoot-out. Finally, we are going to have some action.
Italy must be quaking in their boots; they face the winner of this match.
A succession of sideways and backwards passes as the game limps onwards like a lame dog, waiting to be shot.
SWISS SUB: Frei comes off, replaced by Lustrinelli.
Streller and Gusin go off the field for some treatment after that tussle inside the penalty box.
GREAT DEFENDING! Streller holds off his man as he tries to get away from Gusin; the striker cuts inside and tries to get his shot away, but Gusin slides in and blocks at the last moment. Super defending.
There are a lot of tired, clumsy fouls now; the game has been reduced to a succession of free-kicks.
Milevskiy does well to beat Magnin and get to the by-line; he tries to pick out Shevchenko with a low cross, but a defender slides the ball out for a corner.
Even now, the Ukraine are taking their time over a free-kick.
UKRAINE SUB: Voronin is replaced by Milevskiy; just a third cap for the young striker.
Barnetta curls the corner in to the middle; the keeper comes but doesn't reach the ball, but Grichting can only hook the ball on to the roof of the net.
Good strength from Streller as he holds of his man before winning the corner.
Ruslan Rotan curls a free-kick in to the middle, but Pascal Zuberbuhler punches clear once again.
It is a real shame to see Shevchenko, one of the greatest strikers on the planet, reduced to playing in a match like this. He has had absolutely nothing to work with.
Ukraine kick off the second-half of extra-time; 15 minutes, and this will all be over.
HLF-TIME, EXTRA-TIME: Both sides appear to be playing for penalties. That, at least, is sure to be interesting.
Streller embarrasses himself with the worst dive so far seen at this World Cup. The Beautiful Game doesn't seem so pretty right now.
Shevchenko is caught off-side; I believe that is the first off-side of the evening - a statistic that tells a long, painful story.
ANOTHER SHOT! Tymoschuk takes the hint, and decides to shoot; he drags it horribly wide from 35 yards.
A SHOT! Vogel picks up a poor clearance before driving in a low shot from just inside the box; unfortunately for Switzerland, it is straight at the keeper.
...before finally deciding to clear. It is heartbreaking to see football played this way. It truly makes me weep inside.
...and waits...
...and waits....
Zuberbuhler takes his time as a back-pass is rolled to him. No Ukrainian closes him down, so he waits...
...this time he strikes his shot straight in to the defensive wall.
Switzerland win a free-kick, 30 yards out. It is in a similar position to from where Frei hit the crossbar, 70 minutes ago...
Switzerland appeal for handball inside the penalty area as a high cross causes a moment's panic. Nothing doing, says the ref.
Barnetta fires in a shot from distance; unsurprisingly, it bobbles well, well wide.
Frei screams angrily as he is brought down by Tymoshuk.
UKRAINE SUB: Rebrov comes on to replace Vorobey; can the former West Ham player inspire his nation?
A few of the players were treated for cramp during the break; I can't see the tempo of the game rising much above 'pedestrian' for the remainding half-hour.
Degen woefully over-hits as he tries to roll a pass in to the run of Cabanas. It is the worst pass of the night - and that's saying something.
Switzerland kick off the first period of extra-time.
END OF 90 MINUTES: Let's be honest, that was a stinker. Neither side showed any ambition, no inclination to win the game. We'll have 30 minutes of extra-time, but the chance of someone breaking the deadlock in that time, frankly, seems remote.
...Zuberbuhler comes out and nervily punches away for a throw.
Ukraine win a late corner when Nesmachniy's cross is deflected behind...
Neither side are showing any inclination to press forward and score; this is a little embarrassing. It is the second round of the World Cup, for goodness sake - TRY AND SCORE!
Switzerland break down the right, but Degen's pass is behind Cabanas and the move breaks down.
Vornin goes to the ground under the challenge of two Swiss defenders, just inside the penalty area; no penalty, says the referee.
Magnin is doing his best to lift the crowd: "Come on!" he screams to his fans as he prepares to take a throw. I appreciate his efforts, but it's going to take more than that to wake this crowd.
...but Shovkovskiy again punches commandingly and Ukraine clear their lines.
Barnetta sends the corner in to the middle...
Switzerland win a corner as Magnin gets forward down the left wing and sends over a dangerous cross.
Frei, who has dropped a little deeper since the arrival of Streller, loses the ball on the edge of the Ukraine penalty area, ending a promising charge from the Swiss.
Shevchenko is one of the few players who has the quality to win this match with a single strike, but he has been absolutely starved of service.
Vashchuk writhes on the ground in agony after a challenge with Barnetta on the edge of his own penalty area. The stretcher comes on, prompting a quick recovery.
One of these sides must have a goal in them, surely? Ukraine look the more likely, at this stage; they seem just a little more insisive going forward.
UKRAINE SUB: Rotan comes on to replace Kalinichenko.
Ukraine win a corner; it is swung wickedly in to the near post, but Tymoschuk flashes a header wide.
At least the tempo has started to pick up, even if the quality hasn't.
...but Magnin puts too much pace on the ball and fires it over the top of the crossbar.
Cabanas is tugged to the ground; Free-kick Switzerland...
Switzerland have a spell with the ball, but good Ukrainian pressing forces them to play it all the way back to their goalkeeper.
NOT FROM THERE! Cabanas finds some space 35 yards out; he has a chance to feed a pass in to a team-mate, but instead opts to shoot; high and wide.
The tempo is picking up a little as we approach the final stages, but a breakthrough still looks a long way away.
WHAT A STRIKE! Shevchenko brings the ball under control, cuts in from the right and unleashes a fierce left-foot shot; it flashes a foot or so wide of the near post.
BLOCKED! Frei picks up a short pass and immediately fires in a shot, but his effort is blocked.
The crowd are resorting to the Mexican Wave to keep themselves entertained. It says a lot about the match.
Switzerland are now playing with a slightly more offensive 4-4-2 formation; how will Ukraine respond?
SWITZERLAND SUB: Yakin off, Streller on. Yakin looked off the pace, and is replaced by a big target man who will go up and play alongside Frei.
Nesmachniy is off the field for treatment on an injury he picked up in that challenge with Cabanas.
Cabanas goes in strongly on Nesmachniy; replays show it was a poor challenge; the Swiss midfielder stood on the thigh of his opponent. No booking, though.
...Shevchenko fires in the shot, but the defensive wall does its job and the ball spins off Frei and out for a corner.
Barnetta becomes the first player booked this evening after he trips Shevchenko, heading towards the penalty area. Free-kick, in a dangerous spot...
Gusev has been Ukraine's most threatening attacking player so far this evening; he has been excellent down the right flank.
Gusev sends over another good cross from the right, but Magnin makes a good header to end the interest of Shevchenko behind him.
The defenders are certainly having the luck of the bounce so far tonight; nothing has fallen to a striker in the box, everything has landed at the boot of a defender.
Barnetta swings a corner in to the middle, but Vaschuk clears with his head. Good defending.
Franz Beckenbauer and Sepp Blatter are spotted in the crowd; they look a little bored, if anything.
I'd like to say I can see a goal coming. But I can't. I really, really can't.
Yakin is Switzerland's most creative player, but he looks well off the pace tonight.
TESTING! Voronin turns his man on the edge of the area and fires in a snap-shot, but Zuberbuhler is alert to the danger and saves easily enough.
One of these sides needs to take a risk, to be brave and get players forward; no-one wants the lottery of extra-time and penalties.
BLOCKED! Yakin tries to curl a shot in to the far corner, but his effort is blocked on the edge of the area.
Ukraine have made the better start to the half, but both sides are still being a little cautious.
WIDE! Gusev whips a cross in from the right, but Voronin nods wide of the far post. Good effort, and a good run to get in front of his defender.
A long pass through the middle is well cleared by Grichting, under pressure from Shevchenko.
Switzerland kick off the second half.
HALF-TIME: A tight, competitive half with just two moments of quality; Shevchenko's header and Frei's free-kick - both beat the keeper, but struck the crossbar.
Ukraine win a late corner when Grichting comes across to slide the ball off the feet of Vorobey. Kalinichenko sends the corner in to the middle, but it is a terrible delivery.
Shevchenko has been kept very quiet by the Swiss defence; they have starved him of service and not allowed him any space whatsoever.
...but again, Shovkobskiy confidently punches clear.
...He curls it in to the middle...
Switzerland win a free-kick, out on the right corner of the penalty area. Yakin stands over the set-piece...
Nesmachniy is left on the ground after a foul by Dagen; still the referee keeps his cards in his pocket.
There may be a lack of thrills and spills, but this game has at least been played in a good spirit; the players are helping each other to their feet, shaking hands, and I haven't spotted a single dive as yet.
...but Shovkovskiy comes through a crowd to punch clear of danger.
...Yakin curls the ball in to the middle...
Frei is just beaten to a pass by Gusin, who slides the ball out for a corner...
For all their organisation and commitment in defence, the Swiss look a little clueless going forward.
Tymoschuk is caught by Degen; he limps as he gets to his feet, but appears to be okay.
Wicky fouls Gusev; again, no booking. The referee is doing well to resist the temptation to start flashing cards.
The Switzerland defence has been further disrupted, then; how will they cope against the master-striker Sheva?
SWISS SUB: Grichting comes on to replace Djourou; the young Arsenal defender must have picked up an injury.
So, a third of the game gone, and we don't have a breakthrough. But there have been some encouraging signs, certainly; neither side are content to sit back and wait.
TAME! Muller collects the ball, runs in to space and decides to shoot, but his side-footed effort from 30 yards lacks power and is straight at the goalkeeper.
Ukraine are starting to look a little stronger than their opponents now; they seem more insisive when they break, and are certainly getting more men forward.
RUBBISH! TWICE! Shelayev scuffs a shot so badly, it is blocked and falls to him again; undaunted by his dreadful first effort, he strikes for goal again - this time he blasts high over the bar from the edge of the area.
Frei works really hard up-front on his own for Switzerland; he is a strong, intelligent runner and always gives his side options.
DREADFUL FINISH! Gusin gets down the right again; he finds Shevchenko, who rolls the ball across to Tymoschuk, but he curls a shot well wide.
CALM DEFENDING! Gusin gets down the right and puts in a low cross; Djourou hears the call of Zuberbuhler and allows the ball to run through to his keeper.
Tymoschuk fouls Yakin as Switzerland tried to break; no booking.
Finally, the game has woken up after a very slow start. Both sides have hit the crossbar now and have come close to opening the scoring.
OFF THE BAR! Frei strikes a superb free-kick against the crossbar. Fantastic effort.
Barnetta is tripped by Shelayev as the midfielder cut through the middle and made his way towards the area. Free-kick to the Swiss, 30 yards out...
That was a brave effort by Shevchenko; he threw himself at the ball, despite the danger of flying boots, and he came within inches of breaking the deadlock.
OFF THE BAR! Shevchenko dives in bravely to head for goal as Kalinichenko curls in the free-kick, but his effort bounces up off the ground and against the crossbar.
Djourou is penalised for climbing all over Voronin; free-kick, on the left-edge of the area...
It has been a very slow start to this match; there look to be a lot of nerves out there.
The Swiss fans are really getting behind their side; thousands have made the short trip in to Germany to support their nation.
Switzerland look very organised at the back; they are a young side but work very hard for each other.
Degen comes in with a strong challenge on Vorobey; free-kick, but no booking.
Neither side has really been able to get hold of the midfield as yet, and the strikers are looking a little isolated as a result.
GOOD EFFORT! Wicky fires in a shot from distance; Shovkovskiy dives full-length to push it around the post.
It has been a cagey start to the match from these two sides; perhaps we should expect that they will take a while to get in to what is their biggest match by a long stretch.
Zuberbuhler comes through a crowd to claim the corner at the back post. Good handling from the keeper.
Vorobey fires a cross in towards Shevchenko; Djourou nods behind for the first corner of the evening...
I wonder if we are going to be able to get through this match tonight without a red card; it seems like an age since that has happened at this World Cup.
Djourou keeps his cool to shepherd the ball back to his goalkeeper. It is only Djourou's fifth cap tonight.
JUST TOO STRONG! Zuberbuhler comes out to the edge of his penalty area to smother the ball as Shevchenko looked to get on the end of a ball from the back.
Switzerland have started the better of the two sides; they are looking comfortable in midfield, where Vogel and Cabanas are controlling the pace.
Neither of these sides were really fancied to do particularly well in this tournament, but they are playing for a place in the quarter final against Italy.
Kalinichenko helps out his full-back as Barnetta goes on a run down the right wing.
WIDE! A shot from the edge of the box is blocked, but the loose ball falls to Yakin, who smashes a shot well wide.
Barnetta is tripped by Kalinichenko; free-kick.
Both sides are lining up with a 4-4-1-1 formation; neither will want to give anything away too early.
Switzerland are the only country in the tournament yet to have conceded a goal; but tonight they are up against one of the best in Shevchenko.
Switzerland are missing their main defensive man, Senderos, who is out of the tournament after dislocating his shoulder in the previous game.
The Swiss fans far out-number their Ukrainian counterparts in the Rhein Energie Stadion.
Ukraine kick off in Cologne.
Hi there, welcome to our coverage of Switzerland's second-round clash against Ukraine. My name is Alex; let's get it on.

Albany, NY 12247
Rapid advances in science have led to the identification of a growing number of genes implicated in diseases that are of public health concern – diseases like cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. These findings hold great promise that could lead to better identification, prevention and treatment. However, the relative ease with which genetic tests can enter the marketplace and be accessed directly by consumers, and gaps in oversight to ensure consumer safety, have led some to warn that consumers should beware. This presentation will discuss some of the exciting findings – as well as some of the challenges.
Featuring:Joan A. Scott, MS, CGCDeputy Director, Genetics and Public Policy CenterJohns Hopkins University
Program will begin at 9:30am and last until about 11:00am with time for questions and various comments following Ms. Scott's remarks.

text: Citizens Can Sue Pesticide Makers for Damage Decision by the Supreme Court requires a lower court that had dismissed the plaintiffs claims to rehear their arguments. Compiled by staff Published on: Apr 29, 2005 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print The Supreme Court upheld the rights of citizens to sue for damages caused by pesticides, after Dow Chemical Company and the Bush Administration argued that the chemical industry should be shielded from such litigation. The Bush Administration filed a brief in support of Dow Chemical, arguing against the rights of citizens who are poisoned or damaged from pesticide use. The case, Bates et al v. Dow AgroSciences LLC, involves Texas peanut farmers who argued that the Dow herbicide Strongarm (diclosulam) ruined their crops, but were prevented from suing after Dow successfully argued in a lower District court that registration of pesticides under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) insulates it from citizen suits, or preempts litigation. The Supreme Court decision upholds the preeminence of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), which remains the pre-eminent and long-standing federal statute governing the regulation of pesticides in the United States. The Court unanimously upheld the basic principle that FIFRA preempts any damages claims against a pesticide manufacturer, which would impose a labeling requirement different from those required by the U.S EPA. Equally important is the Court upheld the uniformity of labeling requirements. Basically, the decision requires a lower court that had dismissed the plaintiffs claims to rehear their arguments even though some Justices suggested in opinions that the peanut farmers would fail again upon review and wrote: "If petitioners offer no evidence on remand that Dow erred in testing, design, or manufacture . . . these claims will fail on the merits." Justice Breyer, in his concurring opinion, stressed that the U.S. EPA has the legal authority to promulgate rules and to determine the preemptive effect of those rules. Furthermore, he emphasized that a federal agency charged with administering a statute is "better able than are courts to determine" the extent of state tort liability in light of federal requirements. Justice Stevens, writing for the majority, concluded that "to the extent EPA promulgates such regulations in the future they will necessarily affect the scope of preemption."The court decision also reads, "The long history of tort litigation against manufacturers of poisonous substances adds force to the presumption against pre-emption, for Congress surely would have expressed its intention more clearly if it had meant to deprive injured parties of a long available form of compensation." Jay Vroom, CropLife America president and CEO, says, "Looking ahead, we will further analyze this decision and consult with the states, federal regulators, congress, our members and farm customers – all of whom appear to be impacted by the decision – to develop other policy directions that will respond to the court ruling."

There is certainly something magical about watching a baby sleep. When my girls were tiny, I loved being able to plop them down just about anywhere and watch them nap. Sometimes, they'd stretch out and do funny things with their hands. Sometimes they'd scrunch up and snuggle in close. When I came across the work of Adele Enersen, I fell in love. Her photography is so creative and unique. She has two books out: When My Baby Dreams and When My Baby Dreams of Fairy Tales.

THE number of Hunter home owners on the brink of losing their properties to banks and other lenders jumped almost 30 per cent in the year to December.
Sagging Hunter property prices and the increased cost of living are biting hard across the region with more than four homes a week under threat of being seized in the first three months of this year, a leap of more than 60per cent when compared to the same time last year.
Data obtained exclusively by The Newcastle Herald shows the mortgage finance sector won 214 Hunter-based writs of possession in the Supreme Court last year, compared to 167 in 2010.
The state Sheriff's Office, responsible for removing people from their properties if they fall behind on loans, has reported a significant rise in workload this year with 64 writs won in the first three months.
Maitland financial counsellor Roger Lawes said there had been a sharp increase during the past two years in lenders taking legal action when people fell behind on loans.
''The general cost of living is increasing all the time and real estate prices have gone nowhere but backwards,'' Mr Lawes said.
''People might get into trouble and start using credit cards to pay for the mortgage and it can pretty quickly spiral out of control.''
Residents in Thornton and Edgeworth were among the most financially stressed last year, with 10 and eight writs of possession issued in the suburbs respectively.
A spokesman for the Attorney-General's department said a writ was issued after a lender sought a Supreme Court order to take possession of a property.
He said not all writs led to repossession, with many home owners able to sort out a last-minute deal with lenders.
If the order is successful the Sheriff imposes a date by which the borrower has to leave, the property is signed over to the lender and the locks are changed. Most properties are then sold at auction.
Across NSW last year, about one-third of writs ended in evictions. In the Hunter the percentage was slightly higher at 35per cent.
There were 31 writs of possession issued for properties in Port Stephens holiday destination suburbs last year.
''Obviously holiday homes and investment properties are the first to go,'' Mr Lawes said.

It's quickly how amazing a break goes by! Last weekend I kicked off the first (well second but first obstacle race) race of the year. Although we had a six week break it seemed like it went by too fast and then I found myself again standing at the starting line.
During the last couple of weeks a lot has happened not only in my own training but also in obstacle course racing as a whole. The biggest news of the year had certainly been the sponsorship of Spartan Race by Reebok, now referred to as Reebok Spartan Race. I was not the only one who was a little worried that a big name in sport would change all that we had come to know and love of obstacle course racing and Spartan Race in particular.
As I drove tot he race site on Saturday morning I was wondering how this new change would really effect the actual race itself. I was relieved to see that after I got out of my car and headed to the race registration that Spartan Race was still, well, Spartan Race. Sure some of the signs had changed, a few new faces around the race area, but mostly it was the same as it ever was. This was comforting for me as I have watched Spartan from the first race in 2010.
As I stood on the starting line in Temecula, California it was as much the start of a race as it was a reunion of friends. I was instantly relieved to see all the friendly faces and know, it was still just a race. I can saw Temecula Super might be one of my favorite races of the year as it combines some hills, water, and great obstacles.
In the end I ended up racing both Saturday and Sunday not my most stellar performances but a good prep for the upcoming 70K Fuego y Agua Obstacle Race in Nicaragua. In the last couple of months my efforts have been focused on that event and not an eight mile race. I was pleased to see the added strength of the last couple of months of CrossFit and long snowy runs helped up my endurance and strength. My speed is a little lacking but that can be worked on after Fuego is done. For now it's about prepping for one race at a time and one adventure at a time.
Overall, Temecula eased my nerves about the new Reebok Spartan Race, eased my mind about my training, and allowed me some reprieve from the cold Utah air. Not a bad way to start off an obstacle racing season!

SABMiller announces its Beer Taster of the Year 2010
20 January 2011
SABMiller (SAB.L), one of the world's leading brewers, has announced the winner of its 2010 beer tasting competition and once again the title has been taken by a woman.
Every year the company runs a contest amongst its 2,000 trained beer tasters to identify the most talented taste buds in the business. The winner this year was Carmen Herrera Benitez from Compañia Cervecera de Canarias, SABMiller's business in the Canary Islands.
The tasters' skill is assessed in 3 separate sessions: flavour identification which requires them to identify individual flavours that naturally occur in beer; scaling which demonstrates their ability to identify the strength of a flavour; and finally a session where the tasters are required to identify multiple flavours which have been added to beer.
Professor Barry Axcell, SABMiller's Group Chief Brewer said: "Our tasters are arguably the best in the world and allow us to deliver consistently high quality in all of our 200 beer brands. Carmen's flavour identification skills are clearly exceptional, but it is her dedication and commitment to beer tasting which really sets her apart. Whilst many people would dream of working as a professional beer taster, it's important to realise that it requires commitment as well as enthusiasm."
This is the third year running that a woman has taken the top taster role, having been won in the previous two years by Joanna Wasilewska, from SABMiller's Polish Bialystock brewery.
The annual competition pits the top beer tasters in each of SABMiller's six regions - Europe, Africa, North America, South Africa, Latin America and Asia - against each other to see who has the perfect palate. It is adjudicated by FlavorActiv, the company which supports SABMiller's Global Taste System - which measures the quality of SABMiller's beers around the world.
The finalists were:-
Africa - Stephen Moyo of Bulawayo Brewery, Delta Breweries , Zimbabwe
Asia - Shamim Hamza of Skol Breweries, India
Europe - Carmen Dolores Herrera Benitez of CCC in the Canary Islands.
Latin America - Roberto Diaz Cortez from Cerveceria Nacional of Panama.
North America - Kristy Zigich of the Golden Brewery in Miller Coors.
South Africa - Steve Liebetrau of the Prospecton Brewery, SAB

A text amendment to the county's zoning ordinance relating to the approved interstate and highway overlay zone in Glendale was approved by Hardin Fiscal Court Tuesday, but the measure had its detractors.
The court passed an ordinance 6-2 to better define green space and provide some relief to a 150-foot building setback if property owners install certain landscaping measures. Magistrates Roy Easter and Doug Goodman voted against the ordinance. Magistrate Lisa Williams was not at the meeting.
